rodB — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU1G17250 (symbol rodB) on Aspergillus fumigatus chromosome 1 encodes a hydrophobin family protein and is annotated as a structural constituent of the cell wall. The gene is associated with asexual spore wall assembly, conidia formation, sporulation, spore formation, cell wall organization, biofilm formation, inflammatory response, and symbiont-mediated suppression of host neutrophil extracellular trap formation. The encoded product localizes to the spore wall, fungal-type cell wall, and extracellular region.
